    Well I do think he's not a crook and I also think you may be very use to seeing him with his hat on. Which he does come with by the way.

      I don't want to be negative, but I hope that in person they look a lot better. I've enjoyed most of the figures offered by FTC, that being said.

        And what about Batgirl colored hands?
        Rubber gloves at a reasonable scale was a must for this figure. Beside their excellent Batman and Robin it will seem like she belongs to another line.
        Very disappointing.

I compared it to some Batgirl TV pics, and I think the sculpture alone is an honor to Yvonne under that mask. I am inspired now to plan out a 'paintjob' for the sculpt. I am thankful for my digital drawing tool. It helps me figure out a better likeness, so I can customize my Batgirl: New eyes, lightened lips, cheek shadows, and a matte/flocked mask shadow and ears shadows...

          WOOOOOW!!!! What a difference!!!!!!!! Thanks Comicmike!

              A little confused why they didn't use the same head sculpt (as a starting point) for both Babs and Batgirl. The picture looks like two different characters completely.

                It's odd that when the photograph of the figures is enlarged, Batgirl's head in the only one that's in focus. It make me wonder if what we think we're seeing is actually that. To me, it looks like an actual image of Yvonne Craig as Batgirl superimposed onto the FTC Batgirl body with suit/costume. But, maybe it's just me.

                  ian, that was me. i enlarged the pic, then superimposed actual details of different pics of Yvonne's face, and lined the details up over the FTC-released pic.

                    Agreed!

                      That looks so much better! "Saints alive!" ( I remember he used to say that, just like my old Irish relatves did too.)

                        I do hope the belt sits lower on the actual figure. It should be across her hips. Her cape is also way too long. Batgirl always had a very short cape. I can't tell from the pic, but I don't even see the scallops.
                        I thought it was said Catwoman would also be out by Christmas? I guess that's no longer the case?

                        Also, the Barbara figure, the coat I know I saw on the show several times (though I recall it to be more orange than yellow) but I don't remember her ever wearing a blue skirt that looked denim? Anyone know which episode this design was from?

                          Oops! Forgive me. I should have paid closer attention.

                            Bittersweet timing but excited to see this line hit. It will make for a very cool tribute to Yvonne. I'm confident the production pieces will be quite nice. I don't place too much emphasis anymore on the fine details in a prototype. Those tend to work themselves out in production. As the Photo-shopped piece so nicely illustrates, the sculpts are much better once you fine tune the paint apps. It's been a great series.

                              These are great for anyone who wants to continue buying this series or add a couple to their collection. FTC has done a fantastic job of bringing the 66 Batman series to our toy rooms. No one ever thought this was going to be a possibility.

                                sounds like Catwoman got bumped to carry wave 6...likely will see both versions (newmar and kitta) in that wave
